I'm not an "expert" but I'd suspect that actually teaching people to pay f*cking attention to what they're doing and know how to handle their vehicles will save a lot more lives than any technology will.

The problem with technology (and this doesn't just apply to cars, I see it in all walks of life) is that it has become a substitute for common sense and mental effort. It should be an augmenter, not a substitute. The extent to which I see zoned-out dip***** drivers cruising along fat, dumb and happy on autopilot out there is unnerving and downright frightening. What ever happened to fundamentals?
